Красивый густой лес, где у вас есть отличная возможность слиться с природой, незабываемые ощущения. Воздух тут шикарный.

Nice hike with visiting a waterfall. Mainly good path to walk.
By small ferry you have to cross the river. Entrance fee is not too high

The forest reserve boasts of un touched flora and a lot of indigenous fauna. Entrance tickets are high as all attractions in Srilanka do. we had a wonderful time trekking , watching birds and bathing in the waterfalls. Good halt for nature lovers.

I took the boat across the river three times and the followed clear paths into the forest . The paths wind up and down through the forest providing a good work out in the humid conditions . I saw a good variety of birds and on an evening night walk heard both the endemic Frogmouth and Serendip Scops Owl .

Huge range of bird species and excellent, well maintained trails. High price tag for entry and lack of information mars it.

Stopped off here en route to Colombo on a recommendation of a local person.
Our driver managed to get a ‘local guide’ who was told we wanted to see/photograph birds.
The guide duly took us to the river for a boat crossing across to the Makadawa Forest Reserve. The guides English was virtually non existent. We paid our entrance fee (about £3 p.p) and off we went. He took us to a waterfall and wanted to guide us across slippery rocks at the waterfalls base. How we never broke an ankle of leg is beyond me. In addition, I had an expensive camera and long lens around my neck, how that too survived is miricle, as we both slipped into the river knee high several times. The guide wanted us to then climb up the waterfall. Enough was enough. We told him we wanted to go back.
We never saw a single bird in the forest and we got attacked by leeches from the foot to the groin and we both had long trousers on, which were tied at their bottoms.
I don’t wish to deter anyone from visiting what is a beautiful place but please be aware of the potential pitfalls if doing so.

It is quite a job to get there but the park offers well maintained tracks with a number of different destinations. We walked to the waterfall..which was more like a series of rocky rapids...and had a swim in one of the pools. We walked for about six Ks all up without seeing another person. But watch out for leeches!!!! I picked at least ten off my shoes and socks and only one managed to bite. Do not wear sandals under any circumstances.

We visited the Reserve during our stay at Kitulgala.
There is a large variety of bird life to be seen and photographed.
Of course you are walking through a rainforest/jungle so the pathways are rough and require mobility to access steps and inclines, but well worth the effort. I did manage to pick up a few leeches on our walk, but see this as a possible consequence of walking in a rainforest and no harm done!

Take the small ferry to the Reserve and immerse yourself in the forest. It is just a lovely place to enjoy.

Full of Birds, butterflies and natural beauty. It would be a shame not to venture across the river and visit this place

Would you know how much the ferry cost to go to the forest reserve?
